Genesis 8 (SAV)

1Ina masma na raake neeh teemet na neeh ndaŋkiyaah-yatuus (150) ŋ kehƴi jen, Kooh ɗaakkoheen Noohin nof, a yi na ɗoopaat ca nikee na ɗe ŋ gaala. Weɗ a puuɗsoh ŋ kehƴi, masma haawsukeeɗa.But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

2Wa pulohee ŋ ɗooƴ kehƴi na wa juurkohee ŋ eel ci, ca tufukka ; toɓa seekka.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Masma cooteeɗa ƴin ƴin ; ŋ finho neeh teemet na neeh ndaŋkiyaah-yatuus ceem (150), wa haawsukka kotii.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Mbaɗi, caɓna yasna-kanakɗoh raakee neeh ndaŋkiyaah na neeh yasna-kanak (17) ; gaala gaƴca ŋ tangooca ŋ Ararat.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Masma uupeeɗa nga haawsuk po ngaŋ mbeha koc ŋ caɓna ndaŋkiyaahɗoh, tangooca hotkeeɗa.And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6Wa degga neeh ndaŋkiyaah-nikiis (40), Noohin rangissa palaŋteera a haɓɗiɗee gaala.After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7A tuuƴca ngaak-suur ŋ hara, yeem kaɗeeɗa hayeeɗa, po findi masma ŋiisoh.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Noohin nammba tuuƴ hoɗ ne a inah andi masma ŋiisiɗ.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Waaye a raakɗi ɗiski a yongan laam kehƴi riifeen na masuɓ, a dokukka. Noohin puliɗta yaah a ammba ɗe, a ɓekka ɗe ŋ ɗooƴ gaala.But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

10A sekissa neeh yasna-kanak, a tuuƴissa hoɗa.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Na niina, a hayya na saaf oliiw as ŋ nguɓiŋ ɗe. Noohin inahha kotii ne masma haawsukiɗ ŋ kehƴi.And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

12A ɓaatta sek neeh yasna-kanak a tuuƴissa hoɗa, yeem taalndiɗta, a dokkisɗi nga ɗe.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Kiis ka Noohin raakoh kiis teemet-yasna-yino na kiis yino (601), ŋ caɓna koc nga, ŋ mbeha adug nga, raak masma reehiɗ ŋ kehƴi. Noohin kunissa gaala, a marakka, a hotta ne kehƴi suyiɗ.In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

14Wa caɓna kanakɗoh raak neeh ndaŋkiyaah-kanak na neeh yasna-kanak (27), raak kehƴi suyiɗ kong,By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15weɗ Kooh woyoh Noohin ne :Then God said to Noah,

16« Pula gaali, fu na ɓitiifu na kuɓuuciŋ ɗa na ɓitiɓ ciŋ ɓa ;“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17fu puliɗ cuuɓ ciŋ ɗoopaat ci nik na ɗa, ciŋ kahan ci na ciŋ bilaf fi, sel ci na in ci ƴin ƴin ci jen ; ca pasarkohaat, ca nikaat ɓasloh, ca rimaatɗohaat laayiɗ ŋ kehƴi. »Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

18Noohin pulla gaala, na ɓitiice, na kuɓuuciŋ ɗe ƴaar ci, na ɓitiɓ caŋ ɓa.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Ɗoopaat ca jen, na sel ca na in ca ƴin ƴin ca ; ca puleeɗa gaala cuuɓ cuuɓ.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Ƴutta, Noohin haɓiɗta seeƴkiɗoha haf ce ŋ Nikiɗi, a ɓayya ŋ ɗoopaat ca hooliɗ ca na ŋ sel ca hooliɗ ca, a hoomiɗta ca nga.Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21Wa eeñɗeem ree ŋ Nikiɗi, a neɓuusa nga, a woosa ŋ ɗooƴ ce ne : « Ŋ heyɗi alkisse kehƴi muk sagu ɓo'. Wa keeh ne ŋ kikomaakiikaŋ ɓa, weɗ keeñ ciŋ ɓa na cambohee ɓa hiir ŋ in moɗaaɗi ; ŋ heyɗi ɗumbɗisse in ci na pese ŋ kehƴi muk ŋ findi ŋ tumoha an.When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

22Feeh kehƴi wii nga ɗah, in cii kurkohanɗi nga : sok na nguɗ, doh na soos, yuk na reh, noh na wek. »As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
